Seeds of early salad greens, spinach, and scallions are planted in the greenhouse to begin their journey to your kitchens. They have not yet emerged; they are waiting, as we are waiting, for a bright day to stretch and grow toward the sun.

Our returning CSA members are starting to reappear, to purchase their shares, to visit with their farmers and their flock, and to take in a long look across the blanketed fields. It is easy for me to imagine them all here again, bustling out to the strawberry patch with children running ahead, because I picture it all the time in my mind. Our members are what motivate us here to be better farmers, to nourish more people, to bring up children who are joyfully bonded to a place on the earth.
